Why HDPE PE100 Material Matters

PE100 is the most powerful polyethylene grade which is globally accepted. It has the following features:

1. Exceptionally Durable

The material exhibits great crack, distortion, and aging resistance especially in hot locations such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat.

2. Smooth Inner Bore

The internal surface that offers no friction is a major contributor to cable blowing and pulling being easier and consequently, the installation of large fiber bundles is done without damaging the fibers.

3. High Impact Strength

The duct is capable of withstanding impact, pressure and unintentional hits even with heavy earth load and construction activity nearby.

4. Chemical & Corrosion Resistance

HDPE PE100 is impervious to corrosion and rust and does not react with soil chemicals that are usually present unlike metal and PVC ducts.

5. Long Service Life

The anticipated lifespan is over 50 years thus it is the ideal option for governments, telecom companies and contractors who seek a dependable long-term solution.

Installation Guidelines

1. Trench Preparation

Prepare proper trench first. Do so by getting a soft bedding material that is soft enough to prevent the pipe from being abraded.

2. Proper Alignment

Absolutely joining ducts with couplers or electrofusion fittings will result in conserved leak-free continuity.

3. Avoid Excessive Force

Rollers and blowing machines will glide the cables through the duct safely and smoothly without difficulty.

4. Ensure Ventilation

Keeping duct ends sealed continuously throughout installation will prevent water, sand, or dust from occupying the space.

5. Backfilling

Before final compaction, soft soil will be used around the duct to ensure protection.

6. On-Site Storage

The pipes should be stored before installation in shaded areas to minimize direct sunlight exposure thoroughly.

Why KSA & Gulf Countries Prefer HDPE PE100 Main-Ducts
